Opera 9.6 web browser released

"New version is available as a free download and has some new feaures and improvements."

The new Opera, version 9.6, has been released today, and is available as a free download. The new version of the browser adds some new features to Opera’s free browser-synchronization service, Opera Link, whilst also enhancing and improving the performance of the in-built email client.

What’s new in Opera 9.6

Expanded Opera LinkOpera lets you take your favorite search engines and the browser history you enter wherever you go. Opera Link also synchronizes notes taken in your Opera browser, your bookmarks, Speed Dial and personal bar.

Prioritized e-mail Opera Mail has two new ways to manage e-mail conversations. Keep an eye on important threads and contacts by following them, or ignore less important threads and contacts with a single click.

Previewed feedsLook before you feed. Now you can see an RSS feed’s content before subscribing to it or even bookmarking it. Opera gives you a clean, multi-column preview for each RSS feed so you know what to expect before you subscribe.

Improved fluencyOpera is pleased to add support for Indonesian, Ukrainian, Estonian, Hindi, Telugu, and Tamil languages.

Jon von Tetzchner, CEO of Opera Software had the following to say on the new Opera:

We believe in making the Web available for people everywhere, the people who use Opera need it to adapt to their needs and we’re proud to continue that tradition today. Our improved e-mail client is now the ideal communication tool. Opera Link gives you more flexibility to take your personal browsing identity with you to any computer. The new Opera 9.6 gives more people around the world new reasons to choose Opera.

AMD has told server manufacturers to expect nine Shanghai parts to drop over the next few months, with several launches pulled in from the first quarter. The company plans to lead with a series of 55W parts, with more 55W in Q1, and a series of 105W performance parts as well.

Sunnyvale is keen to burn the memory of Barcelona out of the minds of customers and server builders and promises vastly improved performance compared to Barcelona parts for Shanghai. We reported yesterday that AMD's Patrick Patla promised Shanghai parts would provide 35% improved performance and 35% better power efficiency. Those figures, by the way, reflect both raw performance and improved clockspeeds; Shanghai should outperform Barcelona by 20 percent at the same clock.
